Real Estate agents like to put flyer boxes in your yard to spread the word about you listing. For the potential home buyer, there is just something reassuring about the tactile experience of taking a beautifully designed paper flyer out of the flyer box. Of course sometimes the drive-by inquisitive take more than one flyer. They seem to be attractive to kids walking home from school, and some flyers seem to disappear for no reason at all.
I am not a huge fan of flyer boxes. I can provide much more information about your property with a single property website with a sign in your yard with the URL. If you list with me and you want a flyer box in your yard, I will provide flyers and a .pdf file of the flyer and you make sure there are always flyers in the box. If I happen to find it empty, I remove it. Pretty simple solution to the situations pictured above, all within an easy walk of my home.
My hope for the future is that consumers will continue to develop their technical savvy and tool use, so that signage and flyer boxes can be replaces with QR code signs, which provide lots of info via a simple scan with your smart phone.
If you saw on of these in the yard of a listed property, would you know how to deal with it?
